Italy finds the Spanish exhaustion

Friendly not only disappointed, as many people list. They also found that anyone could harm us. A day fool you Georgia? It could be, but when it happens so often is that something happens, like other unofficial shocks of recent times as against the Netherlands, France and Germany. Nor is it a matter of dramatizing, it is our athletes enjoy a festive event that brings together the best of the continent. But we all feel like that of " everyone's computer , " that they maniquearon victorious times in a cohort of bad journalists to take over the speech and feeling.

We'd get to the second round after the latest setback against Croatia, as contrapié. Living without fear of Italy, they said, which stunk, played badly and was inferior to us, they said. What can go wrong when the team arrives limp and environment ningunea a global tetracampeona that historically has painted our faces? with the same eleven in three matches of the first phase, the team faced an Italy which already warned in the first minute. No rain was falling hard on the French capital, if not the beginning of Italian bathroom. He began apretándonos up, creating a flow of unexpected occasions that only De Gea and the post prevented fructificase. However much was the pitcher to the source that ended up breaking.

Dramatically only Pique was to clear the rejection of Spanish goalkeeper, while between the Transalpine sharks Chiellini arrived first to climb the mail the 1-0. No longer made ​​a feint, now smack it was real. Fortunately for Spain, the score did not move again before the break. We could be eliminated at that point, but the goalkeeper and Italian mistake in front of goal shunned. The second half did not deprive us of the shameful spectacle of Sergio Ramos, in case you had been doubts after his dismal performance against Croatia. Nor we could see Koke and Thiago, players who have allowed us to beat lines, forward, bring freshness to the negligence of Silva and Cesc insignificance. Iniesta, solísimo, could do little until he entered Lucas Vázquez, who stood beside Aduriz will that was needed in the Paris late and much left over the Italians, because not only we exceeded in exceptional tactical demonstration, too, and unquestionably, in the attitude , something that has proved decisive and very striking.

Italy, serious from day to Belgium, is building its way into the base defense of Juventus: Buffon in goal, Barzagli, Bonucci and Chiellini ahead. On its strength today playing a team that took the ball to Spain for most of the first half, he unstitched back in several different ways putting on the lawn work, their belief, their quality and solidarity. The triumph Azzurri was clearly incontestable, beating Spain in all facets of the game and even falling short on the scoreboard thanks to what happened on the table of Saint Dennis.

The spectacular demolition of the linesman to Del Bosque

Vicente del Bosque became the protagonist of the Italy-Spain in the early minutes, but regret it was not a success in their lineup or a change of strategy timely ... Salamanca coach drew all eyes to be shot down by ostentatiously the linesman career that took her band.
The coach left his technical area and stepped inadvertently in the race Linesman, attentive to the play, did not notice his presence. The shock was strong and ended with the forest on the lawn of the stadium Friuli, to the astonishment Sergio Ramos and look Pelle, who struggled for the ball.
Fortunately the collision caused no damage to either and Del Bosque quickly get up and hit his hand with the referee .

Italy - Spain 1-1

A philosopher, studying football, once asked: why attack a computer? What impulse motivates l? Sometimes it is a mystery. Johan Cruyff responded by inventing a machine optimistic football. Vitalism ball, elegant, it became clear, bright in the bands. 
"What is the forte of Manolo? Uncheck. Well, we'll let you free. "
Spain, disciple, and sequel emulates Cruyff , mixed with pure - blooded genius of Luis, who saw the possibilities of Spanish softly, then passed by consensus continuity with Del Bosque, yesterday seemed to have no reason to.
I could tell friendly party, and something more.
Spain looked like a normal computer. Without attributes, sometimes even irritating, which appeared in the last decade.
Away from the area, detached, separate lines and with very little ball .There was a sense of tentativeness, improvisation on the computer, and then two small disasters: one at the exit of the ball. It was not Busquets and San Jose is not the same. Ramos gave many balls as in the Madrid defense and Linker-media looked like a broken slope.
Italy,  especially , he attacked by the right wing. He was passing everything, even Del Bosque fell , with desplome- feeling overwhelmed by the impetuous linesman. The linesmen are despistadísimos individuals.
The fact is that the Spanish left wing was like a tactical gibberish it took to get ready.
They were in the starting Aduriz, either in the first control and playing back; Morata, in regions where Villa began, and Thiago, who only left a great detail in the first part, with oh general audience.
Morata may be the fitter . Its speed and power are irrepressible. He is a player that can only be a starter.

Buffon, the feeling of being invincible

The goalkeeper sets the record for Italy lacked: 974 minutes without suffering a goal. It will seek his sixth World in 2018, a universal milestone


On November 12, 2006, the Board of Juventus paid a full - page ads in the three major sports newspapers in Italy, Tuttosport, La Gazzetta dello Sport and Corriere dello Sport, with a message that read: " 'Your shirt says who you are " . Below were several photographs of Buffon and this text. "Society, colleagues, supporters and partners give thanks to Gigi Buffon is still and will always be our number one" The Turin club paid tribute to his goalkeeper copy because he had decided to stay play with the Bianconeri in the Italian second division rather than use his fame and his recent title of the World Cup to star in a historic transfer and economic business. The City made ​​him an astronomical proposal. The Bianconeri team down by being involved in the betting scandal calcium. His form continued with them. Now, at 38, has won the penultimate milestone in his career: the unbeaten record of Italian football: 974 minutes. Sunday surpassed the record of Sebastiano Rossi, 929 minutes, dating from 1993. Belotti, a penalty, brake your brand . But think get more.

"At 38 am better than ever , " says Buffon . Four - time winner award for Best Goalkeeper of the Year, Silver Ball in 2006 behind compatriot Cannavaro, is also considered the best goalkeeper in the last quarter century and the twenty - first century.


Tomy N'Kono, the culprit

Gianluigi Buffon decided to be because of the Cameroonian goalkeeper Thomas Nkono, whose performances in the 1990 World Cup in Italy sparked his vocation. Over time, the Spanish excancerbero has consistently praised the ability of the Italian to become the world 's number one goalkeeper. Buffon's second son called Louis Thomas in honor of his African friend , who triumphed in the Spanish football with their stops, feet and hands, and that black tracksuit that hid her legs mystery of our league. We never saw her shins.


Euro

Invincibility increases the feeling of impregnable goalkeepers. It gives them life. They are heroes. Almost inhuman . Extraterrestrials. Buffon has lived many times that feeling since 1996 won the UEFA European Under-21 Championship. In 1997 he made ​​his debut A. It takes 154 games with Italy. It is the record holder history of your country. And now he played his last European Championship in France, in search of one of the two titles that are missing in his resume. The other is the Champions League, which deprived the Barcelona last year . Your challenge is to reach the World Cup 2018. He thinks Russia has conditions to be the captain of his sixth World, which would be a universal record.

"No" to 20 million annually

Buffon did not get a goal on 64 minutes Scudetto from Sampdoria-Juventus, played on January 10, when it was surpassed by Antonio Cassano exmadridista. Since then he has achieved ten wins in eleven games. Raul Albiol could break this record in the Juventus-Napoli, but his shot was cleared by N'Kono friend and Casillas. It is commendable friendship with other gatekeepers international level. It is a myth.

Gianluigi rejected in 2012 the best of his life: Shakhtar Donetsk offered 20 million euros per season. Is his character that does not look at the money and if the commitment since he started his professional career in 1995 when he debuted at 17 in a Parma-Milan. In 2001 he was signed by Juventus and at home he continues, with 573 matches on the pocket.

Recently he explained why he said 'no' in 2006, after being world champion, to supply the City, to stay in the Turin club: "I chose to descend to Second because I thought of you, kids (he said to the young followers) . And I thought of you because there are times when you have to stop talking and act. I think I did the right thing . "

He divorced the Czech model Alena Seredova in 2014, mother of his two children, Louis Thomas and David Lee. Now it is rumored that comes with the sports commentator Ilaria D'Amico. But that is another story.
